Chapter 122: Imprisonment
Seeing this, Zhao Tang quickly said to his men, "Take them all down!"
Xiao Wenqin said with a gloomy face, "Let's see who dares! What, Minister Zhao, you haven't even done any investigation...you want to arrest us?"
Xiao Nalan also came out at this time, pointing at Xiao Wenqin and said, "Xiao Wenqin, you are so cruel... You actually want to take our lives! You have also killed so many people!"
As he spoke, Xiao Nalan's eyes were still searching around.
"Where's Xiao Yiran? Why did she run away? Is she fleeing because she's afraid of the crime? Minister Zhao, why are you still standing there? Arrest them! Go and see... how many people died in there. If you let these culprits escape, you'll see how these noble families will skin you alive."
"What are you still standing there for? Arrest him!" Zhao Tang shouted.
"Let's see who dares! You are not qualified to arrest us..." Guan Chong now protected Wen Qingrao.
"Master Guan, you have such an arrogant tone." As he spoke, a man with a square face and a faint scar on his face walked in from outside.
"Minister Xing, you're here!" Zhao Tang hurriedly went to greet him.
The person who came was the Minister of Justice, Xing Chong.
Xiao Wenqin was quite respectful to the Minister of Justice.
"Minister Xing, you are here too. This incident happened suddenly! Please investigate it thoroughly! We will do our best to cooperate." Xiao Wenqin said.
Xing Chong glanced at Xiao Wenqin and said, "Fourth Prince, you are right! We must cooperate. However, not here! But in the Sky Prison!"
After hearing what Xing Chong said, Xiao Wenqin's originally kind expression suddenly turned gloomy and he said, "Minister Xing, as the Minister of Justice, you should be familiar with the laws of Daxia!"
Xing Chong snorted coldly and took out an imperial edict directly from his sleeve.
"The imperial edict has arrived!"
After hearing Xing Chong's words, everyone present knelt down one after another.
"There will be a serious poisoning incident in the boudoir, so I grant you special privileges. If anyone disobeys, they will be executed immediately!"
"Fourth Prince, do you have any comments?"
Xiao Wenqin shook his head with a grim expression.
After a while, Xing Chong said, "Bring all the people here who are not poisoned to the Ministry of Justice ! As well as the cooks and servants!"
The officers and soldiers from the Ministry of Justice under his command agreed without saying a word.
They came forward and started arresting people.
Guan Chong looked at Xie Xunfeng for help.
Xie Xunfeng smiled at him and said, "If you don't do anything wrong, you don't have to worry about ghosts knocking on your door... It's okay to follow them."
Xie Xunfeng was not in a hurry to respond, for no other reason.
Because he wanted to see what the other party wanted to do.
Only when you know what the other party is going to do can you prescribe the right medicine.
After they were taken to the Ministry of Justice, they were detained separately.
…
In a wealthy family’s villa.
Xiao Wenyan raised a wine glass and said, "Mr. Fu, this trick of yours is absolutely amazing... This time, they are dead! Even if His Majesty wants to make a big deal out of a small matter, those noble families will not agree."
Yuan Yuan also raised his wine glass and said, "Third brother, if you had at least warned us... we wouldn't have to suffer that. If we had eaten more, we would have died today..."
Fu Qian smiled and bowed, saying, "Hey, this is just for the sake of acting real. I carry the antidote with me! I won't put your lives in danger..."
"Mr. Fu, have you done this cleanly? There won't be any hidden dangers, right?" Xiao Wenyan asked carefully.
Fu Qian smiled faintly and said, "Grand Prince, don't worry about this matter. I have bribed the key people. Let them insist that it was Xiao Wenqin who ordered it!"
"Then can Xie Hanzi and Guan Chong get away with it?" Xiao Nalan asked anxiously.
Fu Qian smiled and said, "Princess, don't worry... Listen to me! It was Xiao Wenqin who ordered it, and Xie Xunfeng and Guan Chong were responsible for getting the poison. The poison is in Cai Shoucai's super fresh powder! When the time comes, after being tortured, Xie Xunfeng and Guan Chong will admit that Huangfu Chou ordered them to do it. Involve Huangfu Chou in this. Isn't this killing three birds with one stone? More than sixty noble family children died this time. Do you think it can be resolved?"
After listening to Fu Qian's words, everyone raised their thumbs and exclaimed, "High...high...really high!"
"Tomorrow, if you go to the court and add fuel to the fire... they will be dead. As long as they are sentenced to death, you can torture them however you want, right?" Fu Qian said.
"It's a pity that that bitch Xiao Yiran got away." Xiao Nalan said with a frown.
"It's okay, she's gone, just gone! She's a bastard born of a slave girl, isn't it easy for us to control her?" Xiao Wenyan said with a contented look on his face.
"Royal brother, the Queen Mother is protecting her. It won't be easy for us to control her..." Xiao Nalan said.
Fu Qian smiled faintly and said, "Don't worry, everyone. As long as the emperor appoints the eldest prince as the crown prince, we can let His Majesty die in an assassination, and then let the eldest prince ascend the throne smoothly. By then, won't the old woman, the Queen Mother, be at your mercy?"
After hearing Fu Qian's words, Xiao Nalan was shocked.
Xiao Wenyan smiled and raised his glass, saying to Fu Qian, "Mr. Fu, if there really comes such a day, I will never forget the support you thirteen giants have given me!"
Fu Qian smiled and said, "Cheers!"
…
Xie Xunfeng is in the sky prison.
Although they were kept separate .
However, several people are connected.
As for Old Man Wen and the others, they were directly released after being questioned for a few questions.
Xie Xunfeng followed Xiao Wenqin's instructions and told them not to resist no matter what they asked.
Give them whatever answers they want, and satisfy them completely...
After listening to Xie Xunfeng's words, Xiao Wenqin looked at Xie Xunfeng vigilantly.
Xie Xunfeng said to Xiao Wenqin, "If you think I will harm you, you can throw all the dirty water on me!"
Xiao Wenqin smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "Thank you, I didn't mean that."
Xie Xunfeng said to Xiao Wenqin, "If you believe me... just do as I say! Admit whatever they say!"
Guan Chong said to Xiao Wenqin, "Fourth Prince, just trust my elder brother. He is right. If we don't want to listen to them now... we will inevitably suffer physical pain! Even if I am convicted, according to a set of procedures, I will be executed in the autumn... During this period of time, we have enough time to save ourselves!"
Xie Xunfeng smiled and said to Guan Chong, "You are quite smart..."
Guan Chong smiled and said, "Hehe, big brother! Others laugh at me for being stupid... but I laugh at them for being stupid... I am called being wise but appearing foolish..."
Guan Chong's appearance made the three of them laugh.
"You three seem to be in a good mood...but I think you won't be able to laugh soon!" Xing Chong said as he walked to the doors of the three cells.
